<p>As everyone knows, SAT is a widely known test for all High School students, however, ACT isn't ( IMO ). </p>
<p>So my question is</p>
<p>1 - just how important is the ACT test compared to the SAT test ?</p>
<p>2 - would Colleges prefer SAT more than ACT ?</p>
<p>thx</p>
<ol>
<li><p>same</p></li>
<li><p>check with the individual college - in most cases, no</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you take both SAT and ACT scores, and do poorly on either one and better on the other one, would colleges take the poor one into consideration ? or rather, focus on the better one.</p>
<p>what is an ACT score that can get you into NYU and other mid-top tier UCs?</p>
<p>give me a "B"
give me a "U"
give me a "M"
give me a "P"</p>
<p>and you gettttttttt</p>
<p>B.U.M.P</p>
<p>There are very few colleges that favor the SAT over the ACT, and vice versa. Take both tests, and see which one you do best at.</p>
<p>When you say what i am best at, how do i know that when i get an ACT test score, what score it is, responding to a SAT score? do you have any information that can help me to "convert" the 2 test scores?</p>
<p>thx</p>
<p>Wake Forest and Princeton don't take the ACT at all...</p>
<p>This chart converts SAT to ACT score, and vice versa: :)</p>
<p>Actually Princeton does take the ACT . . . at least they did when I looked at their web-site the other day. Perhaps a new policy?</p>
<p>would you say that ACT is an "easier" test for students who are weak at vocabs but quite strong at logical thinking and math?</p>
<p>Why don't you look at the sample questions avaliable at <a href="http://www.actstudent.org%5B/url%5D">www.actstudent.org</a> and see for yourself. </p>
<p>Princeton does accept the ACT, however you still must submit SATII's.</p>
<p>All,</p>
<p>The reason that Princeton and all the Ivies must take the the SAT IIs is the Academic Index (AI) used for recruited athletes. They convert the ACT to an SAT I score and use that instead.</p>
